General FAQ of the Australia mining industry
What is the biggest mine site in Australia?
Fimiston gold mine - Officially known as the Fimiston open pit mine, the Super Pit gold mine in Western Australia is the country's largest mine in terms of scale, covering 3.5km by 1.5km on the surface, and currently undergoing expansion work to extend to a depth of 700m.
Which state in Australia has the biggest mining industry?
Western Australia and Queensland are the most resource-rich states. Of Australia's roughly 340 mines, almost half are in Western Australia. Today, the Australian minerals sector accounts for eight per cent of gross domestic product (GDP).
How big is the mining industry in Australia?
Australia's mining industry has delivered a 10.4 per cent share of the Australian economy in 2019-20, making it the largest economic contributor with a $202 billion GDP, according to The Australian Bureau of Statistics.
What is surface mining?
Surface mining, including strip mining, open-pit mining and mountaintop removal mining, is a broad category of mining in which soil and rock overlying the mineral deposit (the overburden) are removed, in contrast to underground mining, in which the overlying rock is left in place, and the mineral is removed through shafts or tunnels.
What is underground mining?
Underground mining is used to extract ore from below the surface of the earth safely, economically and with as little waste as possible. The entry from the surface to an underground mine may be through a horizontal or vertical tunnel, known as an adit, shaft or decline.
